Paula Llorden is a Spanish Fashion Designer currently based in Paris. She has attended numerous courses at Central Saint Martins since 2014 along with a specialization course on Haute Couture Embroidery in Paris. She graduated from ESNE School of Design BA Fashion Design in 2019.
Curiosity and drive got her to work as an intern since her first year in college for different bridal-wear ateliers in Madrid. This experience gave her the opportunity to learn from amazing seamstresses who taught her the value of craftsmanship and to have the utmost respect for each person that participates in making true the vision of a designer.
Being raised in a conservative environment, her role as creative has evolved to antagonize everything she grew up surrounded by. Her work discusses the current political and cultural circumstances surrounding topics like feminism, gender construction and human sexuality by revisiting the past and understanding our historical inheritance as a society.
Her work explores the body as an instrument that helps in generating conversations through provocation. It also revisits how social constructs that have been weaved into society for centuries haven’t changed, but are still allowed to shape culture without being questioned. All this, using deconstruction as a way of understanding what has been done before, to create it in a whole new context.
